Certificates of Deposit

If you are looking for a safe and secure way to earn a higher rate of interest than a savings account, our CDs are for you! Terms are convenient and flexible for your saving needs with maturity dates available from 91 days to 5 years with opening deposits as little as $1,000.

Features

Competitive interest rates for a specified term

Maturity dates from 91 days to 5 years

Interest may be paid at maturity, or compounded monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually

CDs may be automatically renewed

Early withdrawal penalties may apply

CDs with maturities of two years or longer may “bump” their interest rate one time during the term of the CD. So if interest rates go up, your earnings can too.

The SNB CD Ladder

Want to receive higher interest rates than other savings methods, have faster access to your funds, and keep your principal secure? Consider putting some of your money in a ladder of CDs from SNB.

To build a ladder, divide your money between CDs of staggered maturities - say, four CDs with maturities ranging from one to four years. Each CD earns a different rate; the longer the maturity, the higher the rate. You maintain the ladder by reinvesting. When a one year CD matures, for example, you buy a new four year CD. You’ll have a CD mature every year, but earn a higher overall rate than you would in a one year CD. And, after four years your CDs will be earning the 4 year rate that was in effect in each year they were purchased.

Using actual SNB rates which were in effect from January 6, 2000 through January 6, 2003, laddering $40,000 in four $10,000 CDs would have resulted in increased earnings for you of $2,791 over an automatically renewable one year CD. Of course, past performance doesn’t guarantee future performance. Call your customer service representative for more details.
